Still Dope

Not updated here in a while but we're still going strong over at www.thebottomlesscrates.com.

And, if you are on facebook, check us here.

That's all for now, peace.

What's going on?

This is what's going on......

Wednesday's show kicked ass, one of our best so far (only 6 shows left till our first year broadcasting anniversary). We had;

The usual array of 1st rate breaks, beats and rhymes and some soundtrack nuggets from Roy Budd and friend of the show Mr Lalo Schifrin.

Mel (Head of The Bottomless Crates Meteorology Division) updated us on meeting Rio Ferdinand (England football captain) at Legoland.

A live call in from Dweller to accept the retiring Winner-Stays-On championship on behalf of Rick Mal (not to mention his own work on the tracks Rick flowed over) and also to introduce Organix which is now going to be a regular feature on the show (we're very happy to promote this - top, top tunes with a platform for unsigned artists to rip the mic).

With Rick Mal retiring undefeated, the Winner-Stays-On battle got two new artists in the shape of Foul Mouth & Acid Reign representing NY state versus Baron Von Alias & MistaBreeze representing Newcastle - 2 awesome tracks went head to head and voting kicked off with early heavy support to the US (including Lexi from North Carolina who called the studio within 5 mins of the votes opening - dedication!). Voting remains open till midnight Saturday - so do your bit by hitting the facebook group and posting on our wall or, if you ain't on facebook, either email us or put something up on the website chat box...

Anyway, looks like next week is going to be massive.... So, to wrap up the first show for June... here's the links you'll need;

Back once again

Hello again, sorry for the lack of action here recently...

The Bottomless Crates radio show is about to kick off again, re-born as a 2 hour weekly show and looking like Wednesday 9 till 11 at the moment. All we are waiting for is the start date so we should be on air again within a couple of weeks, hold tight!

In the meantime, here's a big, fat selection of big, fat tunes that have been played over the last weeks to give a taster of what to expect sonically once we return....

In no particular order and not selected as a "best of", just some good tunes.... Enjoy.

Danielle Patucci - La Dimo Strzione

MC Duke - Miracles

JJ Johnson - Pull Jabal Pull

Roy Budd - Get Carter Theme

Ray Baretto - Pastime Paradise

Marlena Shaw - California Soul

Quincy Jones, Bill Cosby & Mixmaster Mike - Hikky Burr

Sugar Bear - Ready To Penetrate

The D.O.C - It's Funky Enough

Blade - Mind Of An Ordinary Citizen

The Undisputed Truth - Poontang

Churchill - Here We Are

Sylvia Striplin - You Can't Turn Me Away

Henryk Debich - Melodia Z Filmu "Shaft"

And finally.... The Bottomless Crates - Show Intro (A work in progress!).

So, keep it locked, much more like the above is on it's way...

Radios Three, Four and Five.

Hello, still alive but mighty busy so apologies for the lack of tunage of late.

The 3rd radio show missing from last week should finally be in our hands on Monday alongside the 4th show from Thursday just gone... We unexpectedly did a bonus 2nd hour on the 4th show so that's 3hrs of Bottomless Crates goodness on it's way, hopefully up for d/l Monday evening....

We are next on air Thursday 20th in our drive time slot of 5-6PM, let us know if you want a shout out!

Radio 3

Just a reminder that The Bottomless Crates are live on NE1FM 1(102.5) from 5-6 PM this evening. The show will be available for download here tomorrow and also available from 7 this evening via the facebook group!


++++ Friday - As an update, we were unable to get a copy of last night's show, the studio has changed premises and the recording takes place at the old site still. All being well, the link will be up early next week. +++++

Radio 2

So, the first ever Bottomless Crates show went out live yesterday and went pretty well. We didn't burn the studio down and there was no loss of life (a success in my book).

We'll be better prepared next time (a lot of the tunes didn't load up in time and we deviated from our planned playlist a fair bit as a result) but you don't have to take our word for it, have a listen yourself....

Bottomless Crates Show One, Live on NE1FM

We return to the airwaves in 2 weeks time, again between 6 and 7 on Thursday July 30th. The blog will still be updated in the meantime of course and if you want to show your support while waiting why not pay the official facebook group a visit? Anyone can join and say hello....

Bottomless Crates LIVE

We are LIVE on NE1FM from 6 till 7 pm this evening.

102.5FM.

Radio

Just a quick shout to announce that The Bottomless Crates will be live on NE1 FM (102.5) next Thursday between 6 and 7 PM, providing radio listeners in the Newcastle Upon Tyne area that are blessed with bonafide taste an alternative late drivetime/early evening show.

Expect a serious dose of who knows what coupled with the usual standard of tunage.

More tunes on their way, hold tight!

Speak Up!

New to the Bottomless Crates from today (added from our secret laboratory, hidden beneath the Earth's crust) is the chat box which you find mid-way down the page.

Feel free to speak your mind here, you don't need to be logged in to an account and can post anonymously if you like (we retain the right to delete anything twatful and block spammers).

More tunes up later today, hold tight!

We are experiencing technical difficulties, please stand by...

Having problems with the links??

Looks like gazup.com has been hijacked for the time being by some Iranian protest or other (apparently there is nothing wrong with their recent election and it's above 100% turnout)..... I would like to add that that The Bottomless Crates does not wish to get involved in politics other than taking this chance to say FUCK THE B.N.P.

I'm sure they'll have it back up soon, so apologies in the meantime.

Thank you, that is all.
